Trying new things

What did you enjoy doing that you had never done before?

Last night was fun. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I went out with some friends and it was great. It’s not something I normally do and it’s very hard for me to say yes to things like that. So, I consider this a huge break through, a positive change and something to be really proud of. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.

Slice of Heaven

What do you love to do?IMG_3978

As many of you can probably guess from my photos, I have two dogs that I absolutely adore. There are many things that I enjoy in this world, but none more so than spending time with my dogs and enjoying seeing them having the time of their lives. Seeing them radiating joy from nose to the tips of their tails brings me happiness. IMG_4882Today, a friend visited and we took the dogs for a hike at a beautiful nature preserve area we have here. Being that the weather wasn’t too pleasant the first week of January, it was nice to get out and enjoy our little slice of heaven again. I adore taking my dogs for a hike and being in nature just gives me a feeling of serenity.

I don’t think there are many words that can quite describe just how much bliss being out there brings us. IMG_9000They do say a picture is worth a thousand words, perhaps even more, so I will let a few of my favorite moments captured speak for themselves. The rest of my day will be spent relaxing, reading and allowing myself to savor the calm aura my dogs have about them after being able to explore, play and run. There’s nothing that brings a bigger smile to my face than seeing my dogs inexplicably thrilled!
